  • Compuware Delivers Deep Mainframe Application Insight to Splunk’s Industry-Leading Operational Intelligence for Enterprise IT

    • Splunk Enterprise collects and analyzes the wealth of data generated by enterprise IT environments so companies can much more effectively detect and resolve security and performance issues.


    • Compuware Hiperstation for application auditing gathers deep insight into how applications are actually being used and records those activities, complementing Splunk and Splunk partners’ existing SIEM capabilities. 

    • By adding Compuware’s mainframe application auditing information to Splunk, enterprise IT can unify their security and compliance management efforts—and thereby achieve better results.

    • Compuware’s auditing architecture is particularly efficient and customizable, so enterprises can gain the benefits of cross-platform insight with minimized processing overhead.

    DETROIT, Jan. 05, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware® is enabling enterprises to more effectively discover and resolve security and compliance issues across their large multi-platform IT environments by feeding mainframe application usage insight to Splunk® Enterprise.

    Many large enterprises use Splunk Enterprise to capture and analyze the wealth of data generated by their computer systems, networks, storage devices, applications, and other IT resources. By quickly and automatically detecting patterns and anomalies in this “big data,” IT staffs can act much more responsively to address potential cyber-threats and operational issues.

    Compuware is adding significant value to these Splunk deployments by capturing and delivering complete, accurate insight into who is accessing mainframe applications and exactly how they are using them.

    This rich mainframe insight, captured by Compuware Hiperstation® for application auditing, enables enterprise IT organizations to unify and complete their Splunk Enterprise SIEM environments. With complete auditing data from all IT resources across all platforms, these organizations can much more effectively and efficiently:

    • Discover and respond to behavioral anomalies that indicate a security event or exposure
    • Correlate logs and other data for comprehensive compliance reporting
    • Provide forensic evidence when called upon

    “As long as IT is forced to continue treating the mainframe as an isolated operational silo, it will struggle with the inefficiencies and inaccuracies of fragmented SIEM,” said Compuware CEO Chris O’Malley. “By enabling IT to converge mainframe metrics into their broader multi-platform Splunk deployments, Compuware is eliminating this silo and empowering enterprise IT to substantially improve its security and compliance outcomes.”

    Many mainframe application auditing solutions consume excessive processing resources. Some solutions are also difficult to implement and configure. The Compuware Hiperstation for application auditing data feed to Splunk is specifically designed to provide rich data inputs, while minimizing resource consumption and allowing for easy “fetch-and-filter” configuration by IT staff without extensive mainframe expertise.

    IT security services firm mnemonic, a Splunk reseller with numerous certifications such as PCI DSS PCI Forensic Investigator, helped shape the data integration process with Compuware. According to co-founder Jorn Tore Hov, “Having the Compuware Application Auditing data available in Splunk, is an important step in protecting mainframe environments through the mnemonic Advanced Threat Defense platform Argus.”

    Compuware announced the Splunk application auditing data feeding capability in conjunction with the introduction of Compuware’s ground-breaking strategy for transferring mainframe platform responsibilities from traditionally siloed mainframe management specialists to mainstream enterprise DevOps teams using popular, mainstream DevOps tools.

  • Open Data Center Alliance White Paper Addresses DevOps Organizational Philosophy

    PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 4, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Open Data Center Alliance (ODCA) today published a whitepaper titled "DevOps: Magnifying Business Value" to address an evolution in the way companies plan, deploy and manage IT and operational investments and projects.

    DevOps is a philosophy and concept intended to improve the process of software development and change management. By eliminating silos prevalent in traditional Development and Operations organizations, companies can build, test and release software, cloud applications or infrastructure changes more frequently and reliably.

    The ODCA is addressing the DevOps concept because cloud applications, service providers and cloud service brokers are becoming more prevalent in IT and operations. Cloud tools can reduce the complexity of implementing a DevOps approach through automation of positioning, environment creation or deployments, to name a few.

    To maximize benefits, a full DevOps implementation requires significant business backing and investment. Because there is no universal definition of or approach to DevOps, it is important that these implementations are carefully planned. Organizations should leverage best practices from previous adoptions of the approach with clear goals, well-defined strategy and active management of the plan.
    "DevOps is simple because it focuses on the three concepts of speed, quality and innovation. Yet the execution can be challenging, because it centers on people, processes and tools," said Gunnar Menzel, president of the Open Data Center Alliance. "DevOps and cloud technologies are helping enterprises evolve from organizations to responsive organisms, and the ODCA is proud to contribute to the advancement of this important concept."

    Download DevOps White Paper

    DevOps defines a set of roles and responsibilities focused on reducing risk in IT deployments and projects. By connecting development and operations, enterprise IT departments can begin to break down silos in order to:

    • maximize automation;
    • eliminate or significantly reduce human error;
    • increase consistency; and
    • reduce time spent on the outages, error detection and prevention caused by unstable environments

    "DevOps: Magnifying Business Value" outlines the ODCA perspective on the DevOps concept, focusing on key challenges it can help resolve and the benefits it can provide.

(Konica Minolta) a leader in information management focused on enterprise content, technology optimization and cloud services, today introduces two new services that bolster mobile printing capabilities and control over the devices accessing company data, effectively addressing challenges related to "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) trends affecting all business environments.

    EveryonePrint

    EveryonePrint today makes its debut to the Canadian market. This secure printing solution allows users to easily print to any desired printer on a business's network. It can be installed as an on-premise or private cloud solution, and there's no need for a mobile device to be added to a domain or to download print drivers. Whether in a small business or a global enterprise corporation, EveryonePrint provides a host of benefits, including:

    • Authentication via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Active Directory (to ensure only authorized users can print)
    • End-to-end encryption of print jobs

    • Connect – Available as a per-server license. It offers the same functionality as the Standalone version, plus the ability to integrate with a variety of print accounting solutions such as PaperCut, Equitrac, etc. This version is ideal for small to medium educational institutions and customers with simple networks.
    • Professional – Also available as a per-server license with the same general functionality as Connect, but includes Wide Area printing, which allows users to use AirPrint across complex networks. Bundled with an Microsoft Office conversion engine for printing Microsoft Office documents without the need to install Microsoft Office on the EveryonePrint server.

    • Enterprise – Available as a site license with an unlimited amount of server and printer licenses. This version offers the same functionality as the professional version and is recommended for all large enterprise and/or global accounts.

    • Web – Users can upload documents via a web portal for printing.

  • 12 technologies that died in 2015 @ PCWorld

    With the dawn of the New Year it isn't uncommon to look back over the past 12 months and wonder what the heck happened and question the progress we have made.

    PCWorld has posted an interesting article that says goodbye to some technologies that died in 2015.  I argue that Radio Shack isn't really a technology but I am sad to see it go, mostly because there is no viable replacement (eg Frys) near me.

    Some tech died quickly...some just faded away.
    For every tech triumph in 2015, there was also a failure. A technology that fell to better competition (or bad luck). A company whose best products were behind it. A business model that simply didn't make sense anymore. Before we say hello to what 2016 might bring, let’s pause to remember notable products and services that died in 2015. (We define “dead” as a technology that ceased being produced or otherwise reached end of life. Rebrandings and “evolutions”—a la Google Glass—don’t count.)

    The one thing on the list that annoys me is the death of replaceable batteries.  It's called forced obsolescence and a reaction to hardware getting so good that you don't have to replace it.  Well, now you have a reason to.

  • Covisint to Present Success Factors in Powering Ride Sharing and Multimodal Transportation at the 2016 Consumer Telematics Show (CTS)

    DETROIT, Dec. 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Covisint Corporation (Nasdaq:COVS), the leading Cloud Platform for building Identity and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, today announced Tim Evavold, director of connected car and dealer ecosystems, will speak on key success factors in enabling ridesharing and multimodal transportation in an increasingly connected world at CTS, taking place January 5, 2016, at the Rio Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.

    During the session, Evavold will address fundamental connected vehicle considerations when enabling a ride sharing model, such as interoperability, data governance, security and privacy.

    “We’re on the cusp of an evolution in the sustainable transportation model – particularly in urban areas,” said Evavold.  “Where vehicle ownership was once a consumer rite of passage, vehicle sharing through ride sharing models and use of multimodal transportation has become less a novelty and more the norm – and connected vehicles will factor heavily in that evolution.”

    Speaking Session:

    • Topic: Key Success Factors in Powering Ride Sharing and Multimodal Transportation in Connected Environments
    • Who: Tim Evavold, director of connected car and dealer ecosystems
    • When: Tuesday, January 5, 2015, 12:10-12:35 p.m. PT
    • Where: Consumer Telematics Show (CTS), Rio Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Additionally, Covisint will reveal the latest iteration of its Connected Vehicle Experience Station at CTS booth #8.  Visitors are invited to view the experience, which will illustrate:

    • Building deeper consumer and dealership engagement through connected devices and systems
    • Adjusting settings in the head unit by individual driver through managing driver identities
    • Setting boundaries (such as geofence) and prompting vehicle or “thing” action when approaching or exceeding such boundaries
    • Controlling vehicle action with a mobile device through IoT services enabled by a cloud platform

    You can stay up to date on our CES and CTS activity by following us on Twitter at @covisint.  Learn more about how the Covisint Cloud Platform enables the Connected Vehicle experience.

  • Making a Better Casemod @ Modders-Inc

    I have been doing casemods for a really long time and done just about everything you can imagine from custom windows, paint, panel replacements, lights and even a LED lighted fan controller.  My most recent project was a custom painting job on a Thermaltake Core V51 and I think it turned out pretty nice.  The project was highlighted in the following podcast episode if you would like some more details.

    Modders-Inc posted a quick article talking about how you can build a better casemod and it reminded me that today's reddit generation doesn't know much about casemodding and what they do glean from the Internet or from shoddy Youtube videos isn't always accurate or viable for a beginner.

    You have been bitten by the modding bug and you have finished your first case mod from either a Plain-Jane or pre-modded case. You added a LED lighted fan, mastered the spray can one color case change, but it is just not what you wanted or you think you can do better. You know you want to take your next case mod that you do to the next level but you are unsure on the correct ways to do this. Well you are in luck as we will be taking a look at a couple key areas and how to achieve the refined look you are striving for.

    If you're interested I'd suggest checking out the article.  They cover just about everything, and a few things I forgot about. happy smile
